Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Lew: B+.

When a board-topper like Connor Lew slides to Round 7, Pick 25, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
The board had Arvell Reese higher than the 25th overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick63 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
They let Dani Dennis-Sutton come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Avieon Terrell
Circle this one: Avieon Terrell at No. 89 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse at Round 3, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at the 129th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jake Slaughter
They barely believed it either: Jake Slaughter still on the board at pick 163. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Lee Hunter
Steal is underselling it; Lee Hunter at pick No. 239 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in slot 241 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
